0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Outdooractive.com is an established online platform catering to outdoor enthusiasts including hikers, cyclists, mountaineers, and winter sports participants. The website offers a comprehensive suite of services such as route planning, travel guides, community engagement, and detailed maps. It is positioned as a trusted resource recommended by industry professionals like mountain guides and trail wardens. Technically, the site employs modern mapping technologies including Leaflet.js and Mapbox GL, with a responsive design optimized for mobile users. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage evident, but lacks explicit security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, though no cookie consent mechanism was detected in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, but the professional website content and structure mitigate some concerns. Overall, the platform serves a medium-sized audience with a focus on outdoor activity planning and community features.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Outdooractive operates in the outdoor recreation sector, providing digital tools for route planning and travel inspiration. Its business model revolves around offering free and premium content to outdoor athletes and travelers, supported by community features and expert recommendations. The platform's multi-language support and extensive content catalog indicate a broad geographic reach. While no direct contact or company registration information is visible, the site maintains a professional image with consistent branding and trust signals such as premium content labels. The lack of visible advertising networks or tracking services suggests a focus on user experience over aggressive monetization. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data provided.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected in the HTML snapshot, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency in case of security issues. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files suggests limited formal security communication channels. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced headers, incident response readiness, and clearer security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Investigate and update WHOIS registration details to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages modern JavaScript libraries for interactive maps and route planning, including Leaflet.js and Mapbox GL. CSS and HTML5 standards are followed with responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is discernible from the HTML. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA labels and skip links present but could be improved. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected in the provided content, indicating minimal user tracking.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
